Synopses & Reviews
They meet in a clash of swords, drenched in the moonlight of Britains rugged eastern coast: Captain Jack, his handsome features etched in silver and shadow, his powerful physique compelling “Kit” Cranmer to surrender. He is her dream lover come vividly alive, and his command of the smuggling gang is absolute. His all-knowing gaze penetrates her disguise as the “lad” leader of a rival gang with frightening ease and his “punishment” with kisses leaves her maidenly modesty in tatters.
Suddenly Kit finds shes only too delighted to explore with Jack the pleasures conventionally reserved for married ladies . . . little knowing what dangerous forces shes unleashing. For even as Kit revels in midnight gallops and cottage rendezvous, Captain Jack is laying a gentle trap that will curtail her freedom . . . and bind her to him with a ring, a promise . . . and ties of devotion and desire.
Synopsis
Bored by society's rules and strictures, Kathryn & "Kit" Cranmer yearns for adventure—and she finds it on Britain's rugged eastern coast, dressed as a boy at the head of a rag-tag band of smugglers. But there is another who rules the night: the notorious Captain Jack, the ruthless leader of a rival gang who will allow no trespassers...and who stops Kit's breath with his handsome, etchedfeatures and powerful physique.
In no time, Captain Jack sees through Kit's brazen disguise—and tempts her with kisses that compel the beautiful adventuress to surrender her cherished independence for nights of incomparable bliss. But her lover is much more than he seems—a man of secrets and dangerous mystery—and becoming Captain Jack's woman will carry Kit into a world of sensuous pleasures and unparalleled perils...and to new heights of excitement beyond anything she's ever dreamed.
